A four-year-old girl with autism was found wandering alone in heavy rain on the Spanish coast and was safely reunited with her parents. The incident occurred in San Miguel de Salinas on Sunday, October 4, during torrential rains that swept the area. Police found the disoriented girl, who was wearing diapers, and handed her over to medical professionals for examination.
It was then determined she had autism spectrum disorder. Her parents, who had been searching for her, were notified and they were reunited with their daughter, ending a potentially dangerous situation. The heavy rain and resulting low visibility on the roads posed additional risks such as flooding and cold weather. This incident highlights the importance of quick action when vulnerable children are found alone in public spaces.
Spain has been experiencing heavy rainfall since the beginning of October, with several yellow warnings in force across the country.
